Terms of use

These terms cover the independent fan-made word game at Chainle.me. The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to chainle.io. Using the pages means you accept the limits below. This is not legal advice, and it was last updated on 10 November 2026.

Diagram of the Chainle.me board: five rounds, clue chips, one word field, and a score out of 1,000.
Five rounds, one word each. The score is a link, not a race.

The game you are using

Chainle.me offers a free daily word connection puzzle, a practice pool, and an archive of puzzles this site has released. You may play them without an account. You may share the no-spoiler card the board copies for you. You may link to public pages. You may not present this site as the operator of chainle.io, and you may not scrape, republish, or automate against the site in a way that pretends to be a player or that degrades it for everyone else.

Puzzles and scores

Clues, listed connections, explanations, and page text written for Chainle.me are part of this project. You may quote a short passage with a link. You may not copy the puzzle bank into another product and present it as your own calendar. Scores are a local reading of a hand-checked list. They are not a warranty that every fair association was considered, not a ranking against other people, and not a certificate. A streak lives in your browser. Losing it by clearing data, changing devices, or missing a UTC date is not a defect the operator is obliged to repair.

Acceptable use

Do not use the site to attack, harass, or impersonate. Do not upload anything; the game does not offer uploads. Do not attempt to pull unreleased puzzles out of the build. They are omitted on purpose. Do not frame the site as an official companion, an answer service, or a licensed edition. The About Chainle.me page states the same boundary. The privacy policy states what is stored locally and when an analytics script would load.

Availability and changes

The site is provided as available. A static build can lag a few minutes past 00:00 UTC until the next publish. Pages can be corrected when an explanation is wrong. Corrections do not rewrite history already stored in your browser. The operator may change these terms by updating this page. Continuing to play after the update is how you accept the new text. Questions go to hello@chainle.me.

Liability

The game is a pastime. To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for lost streaks, disputed scores, or decisions you make because of a number on the board. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits, and those rules still apply to you. Nothing on the site creates an affiliation with any other word game.
